While surfguitar101.com has plenty of benefits, I still like the e mail
lists. Obviously I'm on this one, plus reverborama. Sure plenty of
threads come up that get the 'delete' button after scanning the first
couple lines, but plenty more come up that I find interesting that I
might have otherwise missed.
I think some folks are like me and find themselves checking only a
couple of the forums on average. For example, I posted a topic about
baking tapes in the 'recording' section of surfguitar101.com and got
one response after 5 days or so. I then posted the same comment on
reverborama and got tons of useful into and responses.
I chalk it up to the 'intrusiveness' of the e mail lists.
Show listings would be another good example of this. There aren't a
whole lot of shows coming through my neck of the woods, but if I see
one in a town where I know somebody, I'll forward it to them and
encourage them to go. I'm not sure I've checked the show listings on
the web site in the last month. I just never think to.
I'm not bitching. Just noticing some different habits with different
formats. May be that those not opposed to e mail can be happy with
reverborama or some of the other lists out there in addition to the
surfguitar101.com format.
Thoughts?
